Start with a very small amount and see how they respond. Don't be a dummy like me (haha) and go overboard with it. I'd also recommend adding some fresh bedding first to help provide a bit of a buffer zone. B Hi Tracy,

I have a pail that has been fermenting for about 4 weeks. Do you think maybe I should just put a small amount in or any ideas on how I should go about it. My worm bin is the standard Rubbermaid tote "deluxe" setup that you had on your video. The worms have been in there since Feb are are doing well. Thanks, Tracy Hi Bentley,

I remember you mentioning that you hadn't kept your bokashi compost in a tightly sealed container. I wonder if this had an impact. I noticed that the material in the bin with the loose-fitting lid smelled more like an anaerobic mess of food scraps than the other bucket (which had the sweet bokashi smell). Anyway, let me know if you try it out again. Hey Alison,
